Hey @ombsahu11 ! Welcome to the community :smiley:

To open Tor on Brave :

  1. Click on the Menu Icon in the top right corner
  2. Click on New Private Window with Tor

Hope this helped!

There are no such settings in menu (refer screenshot) and short cut is not working

I haven’t installed that update yet.
We can exclude only files/folders and not an app. Still, I excluded brave browser folder in the program folder. But in task manager, there is no process related to tor

But it certainly seems that OS is blocking it @Aa-ron

Hey @ombsahu11 !

Can you try creating a new profile to see if you see the option to open a Tor window?

Click on Menu Icon → Create a New Profile

@ombsahu11
Where did you download Brave from?
Are you using a personal machine or a work machine?

11

It my personal machine @Aa-ron

@ombsahu11
Can you confirm - where did you download Brave from?

13

@Aa-ron From brave’s website. Everything like Sync etc is working fine but this is the only problem

14

@ombsahu11 ! Can you please state which region you are in? I believe there is a version of Brave that does not support Tor based on the location of the user.
